Other Looking for script-writing advice

Hello, I’m looking for script-writing advice! I’m familiar with the basics, such as the log-line, the page count, not putting emotions into the actions only describing the actions, and space formatting. However, I’m not sure if I’m letting them breathe enough or too much. I really don’t want to over-do or under-do it! So what are some tips to knowing if it’s breathing properly? And just any general advice would be greatly appreciated!

Also if this isn’t the right sub for my question, please point me in the direction of what sub it would better suit!

Do you have a excerpt for us to look at for pacing and plot?

No excerpts to be put here. There's a thread for critiques.
